Win A 12 Month ParentShield Mobile Phone Contract Worth £180

Having a daughter who spends a lot of time around her older cousins means I have been hearing “Mummy, when can I have my own phone?” a lot sooner than I thought I would do.

She is only 8 and I thought we were years away from her needing or wanting one, but I guess times change and everyone is different. She won’t be getting one anytime soon, she has no need – she has a tablet for her games and apps and no real need to call or text anyone as yet as none of her friends even have their own numbers.

When she is walking to secondary school on her own (or with friends) is when I am looking at getting her a phone, for safety and for keeping in touch with us and her friends. I didn’t have my first phone until I was 18 but it was all so different back then – and mobile phones were just that – phones for calling or texting, they have no internet on them only very basic games such as snake.

When to get your child a mobile is a he debate amongst parents, there is NO set time which is right but there are safety issues they should be made aware of before they have one, rules set and adhered to.

Never giving out their number to strangers
Internet safety – don’t let others know your address or which school you go to. Be wary on the information you disclose on social media, only accept friend requests from people you know, never arrange to meet someone you don’t know etc. I’ve a post on internet safety and kids which you can read here.

Then of course there is making sure they don’t lose them as they certainly aren’t cheap

Those are just a few of the worries parents have when thinking about getting their children their first phone, others also include:

Cyber bullying
Sending or/and receiving inappropriate messages
Spending too much time on them
Running up high bills
